well i know you at least have ata support CONFIG_ATA

     Location:                                                                      
       -> Device Drivers                                                                          
         -> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers               
     Selects: SCSI  

then the next option needed for for ahci sata support CONFIG_SATA_AHCI

     Location:                                                                
       -> Device Drivers                                                                                  
         -> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers                  
           -> ATA device support (ATA [=y])

and finally CONFIG_ATA_PIIX for the intel ich support (2 options below the AHCI SATA)

     Location:                            
       -> Device Drivers                                                                                
         -> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers        
           -> ATA device support (ATA [=y])

that should take care of it

Hi,

I think the problem is with my kernel.  my lspci says:

IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 03)

I have kernel v2.6.19-gentoo-r5

What do I need to select in my kernel configuration to make this work?

Thanks
Rick
